14g is 2mm I generally find the drive side and non-drive side spokes are 2mm different in length.

Thanks for that, the small bafang looks nice I may see if oxydrive could sell me one on it's own instead of a kit. I would be tempted to try the Xiongda but I don't want to go up to 48v as that will mean more battery weight.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Something I have been thinking about recently I may as well ask here. Is there such a CST motor with as much torque as a 36v 250w bafang CST @16a but smaller/lighter maybe sacrificing speed to get the lighter motor? I like the torque I have into...

Can't confess to knowing what I'm talking about, I got the idea to buy some and try acf50 recently from eddiePJ

You don't want to get acf50 on the handle grip part though, it is a kind of thick wd40 oil based type liquid.

That's describing me too.

+1 with d8veh on ubuntu linux. I'm sure a mate once got a similar problem and the files weren't actually encrypted, they just blocked access to them somehow to make you think they were. Have you tried booting into safe mode, or put the hard disc into another computer as a secondary to access the...

I stopped using my throttle a few months ago, now only using PAS level 2 or 3 (of5). I find it much more relaxed cycling and as you say flecc I now get about 30% more miles from the battery. I was tempted to remove the throttle recently but find it handy to pull me along small gaps where I...

Well done, over 1k miles in a month is quite an achievement to be proud of, particularly in those weather conditions, and on top of that as already mentioned you still spared the time to help people on this forum. I also wear a padded hivis jacket and Aldi lobster gloves in this weather both are...

Longest time/miles with the same motor.

Most ebike miles done in a month?

You've reached a certain age today ? (and get your free buspass?)

Haven't bought any ebike related parts for a whole month?

No shortbread biscuits for a whole month?

Put a small amount of grease on the motor axle to stop the rusting, in fact on all threads. Also have the motor wire loop down from the motor before going up the frame to stop water running down the wire into the motor. I cover my battery with a shower cap and a couple of elastic bands and get...

Thanks d8veh. To Chris, I think d8veh has covered it. With lipo batteries you become the BMS, you need to 'learn' how to use them, whereas an off the shelf 36v lithium one will be plug and play, so depends how easy you want it. I use lipo's occasionally (I'm still getting used to monitoring...

I'm thinking of dropping from 12s to 10s lipo, would it be ok to use the lcd battery meter as a rough guide if using 10s lipo along with the lipo alarms on in the battery bag, or is the slight voltage difference too much?

Mine only goes to 1.0a so may have some fun with the above idea when I get time.

Ah Mike, this ties in nicely with the idea you give me last night about connecting 4way plugs to a battery to get more amp discharge. I am thinking (in line) battery to watt meter to 4way ext to kettle/tumble dryer/bulbs/fans whatever until wattmeter shows enough amps and monitor volts every...

Does that quote mean a constant 1a? I am using my BC168 discharge feature which says 1.0a constantly so is that a fixed resistance?
